Rationale (which should be added) is:
If there are two or more multiplexers/switches connected to same bus
unused ones need to be set to neutral/unconnected state, otherwise
transactions to devices behind current multiplexer get visible to all
buses lately addressed on the other multiplexers. This will lead to
address conflicts for all devices with same address.
Usage of new bindings is xor.
